SL2 Survival Tool: Don’t be tool at the campsite
The SL2 Survival Tool is designed to help keep you alive (or at least in good spirits) when you’re camping, hiking or fishing. It features a serrated locking ‘A’ grade blade and comes with a Swedish Defense Department created, firesteel, which produces a 3,000°C hot spark to light fires even in the wettest of conditions.

Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock For Lazy Folks
The most interesting feature of this Alarm is that it will throw a tantrum at you if you let it ring for more than a minute. This will go on for an hour but if you still do manage to sleep then for sure your sleep is deserved. Otherwise, everybody would wake up at its tantrum.

Da Vinci Alarm Clock Allows Only Four Hours Nap
Designed by Marc Owens, the alarm clock helps stick to a 3.5/.5 sleep schedule by displaying words AWAKE or SLEEP instead of time, the first for three and half hours and the latter for half an hour in a four hour cycle that repeats six times a day.

Wind-Up Walkie Talkie
With all the functionality of battery ridden chatterboxes such as a 3 km range, 8 channels, LCD display screen and being generally pretty darn rugged, these Walkie Talkies are, as the name suggests, powered by winding them up. The dynamo mechanism knocks past dynamo efforts into a cocked hat, making it simple with just a few cranks to get connected.

October 6th, 2008 at 3:10 pmWhen a gadget can save your life, it is very cool. I wouldn’t travel anywhere (except through airport security
